Girls gang up on Ashley Cole

Cheryl confided to the girls about Ashley’s recent behaviour and Nic and Kim hit the roof

The England footie star has been bombarding Cheryl with jealous text messages now she’s seeing US dancer Tre Holloway.

While Cheryl has well and truly moved on from their marriage it seems Ashley hasn’t let go.

A source in the Cole camp told me: “While Cheryl is happy and moving on, Ash is still bombarding her with jealous messages, texting on a constant basis.

He hates the thought of another man being with her – despite admitting he never really wanted her back.

“He’s even sent Cheryl pictures of them when they were together and in love.”

Cheryl’s determined not to let Ashley mess her head up and is blanking all his messages.

I’m told the Call My Name singer is loved-up with Tre and is not letting her ex derail their relationship.

But while Cheryl’s not biting, her Girls Aloud bandmates Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh are after Ashley’s balls – and I don’t mean the ones he kicks around a pitch.

My source said: “Nicola and Kimberley have been so happy for Cheryl since she fell for Tre. As soon as the girls met Tre they told Cheryl he was the perfect man for her and gave their seal of approval.

“Kimberley’s boyfriend Justin even swapped numbers with Tre and the four have already had dinner together at Cheryl’s house.

“Cheryl confided to the girls about Ashley’s recent behaviour and Nic and Kim hit the roof.

“They were so mad they called Ashley up and told him to back off.

“They told him that if he loves her as much as he proclaims, he’d back off and let her be happy.”

Something tells me Ashley’s not the kind of guy to let Cheryl or her mates Call The Shots though!
